Not 1984. Not 1994. And not 2004. As such, plasma flat-panel display technology, as an invention, is +45 years old. Also, twisted nematic (LCD) came in around ~1970. Another +40 year old technology.

Conversely, FED came in, as an invention, in the early 1990's. Canon didn't even begin work into SED until 1986. So, maybe in ~30 years from their respective starts we can expect the same. And as all good mass-produced electronics manufacturers, why would there be an incentive to kill the cow that is still half full of milk before moving onto the next cow?

Now, like all good little cowsumers, drink your aging milk, moo a little on dated technologies, and don't complain when that aging milk is a little skim on black levels and real On/Off Contrast Ratios.

Mooooo!!!!]]>Jan 24th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/fed-apparently-not-dead-baby-field-emission-technologies-sells/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/fed-apparently-not-dead-baby-field-emission-technologies-sells/
Well, Pioneer already presented a prototype Plasma with infinite black levels 2 years ago, so the only thing left to do is to find economical ways of incorporating that tech (Panasonic being the most likely ones to do it). That really only leaves phosphor trails as the last problem area that needs improvement on Plasmas (and perhaps the tendency for burn-in has room for slightly more improvement).]]>Jan 25th 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/fed-apparently-not-dead-baby-field-emission-technologies-sells/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/22/fed-apparently-not-dead-baby-field-emission-technologies-sells/
I think they'll be used (SED maybe) as evaluation grade monitors.]]>Jan 23rd 2010 5:31PM
